I've got a Mile Marker 12k hydraulic on my 08. I am VERY impressed with it. My previous trucks used the old Ramsey worm gear electrics and it was good for what it was. But after being Hotel 8 wrecker qualified I have been in love with hydraulic/pto winches. Its kinda scary because unlike with an...
Ya they are RUTHLESS with the forklifts. I have a friend that used to work at Rock Island government liquidation as a fork lift operator and she told me they were told to really smack into the trucks to make sure they were on the forks. About made me sick. And your right rickf, as much stuff...
Exactly Doghead! I was sad to see it go but glad that my buddies were ok. Since the military was phasing them out I couldn't get parts for it. So the entire time we were in Iraq it never got an air filter (just knock all the powered dust out of it twice a day), oil filter or fuel filter. We...
Ya it was pretty amazing that nobody got seriously hurt. The occupants of the hmvee had no injuries at all (nobody was standing up in the crew serve ring thank God!) And the shot gun in the M1031 was a little stiff. The driver was wearing his seat belt and wound up with some stitches. Nothing...

When I was in the Army convoy speeds were 45 with a "catch up" speed of 50. Kinda what they were designed for in my opinion. 55 is about all I take mine and only for a short time and thats with 34" tires. I'd really kick myself for grenading a perfectly good engine to get to my destination 10...
Nice lookin winch mount! I wish that I could have done mine a little cleaner like yours but its a MileMarker hyd and I have to be able to work the side levers.
